Jonathan Taylor runs wild to earn AFC Offensive Player of the Month
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Month for October. The engine driving the NFL’s top offense capped off an astonishing four-game stretch with another phenomenal performance to reassert his status as one of the premier playmakers in the league. Taylor’s numbers in October were a nightmare against […]
Could Colts game strategy apply as a season strategy?
First of all, let me thank the 550 readers who took the time to vote in the “Expectations for the next 3 weeks” poll. 550 is easily the most voters I have seen and I also want to say thank you to the 42 who took a minute to comment. To say that fans are […]
ESPN proposes trade ahead of deadline for since demoted young Colts QB
According to ESPN’s Ben Solak, the Minnesota Vikings should trade for Indianapolis Colts since demoted starting quarterback Anthony Richardson just ahead of the NFL’s trade deadline: If there was anywhere for the former 4th overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft to resurrect his early career, Minnesota would arguably be at the top of any […]

Week 8 Colts Offensive Rankings and Analysis
Each week during the season, I will be walking through the data from the previous Colts game and analyzing the numbers to form a sort of “what happened” narrative, as well as comparing the Colts against all other teams in the league.

Colts Week 8 Film Breakdown: The Hottest Offense in the NFL
I’m trying to get creative and think of a snappy intro, but what else can I say? This is the best offense in football. While this offensive production is impressive and borderline historic, it’s important to acknowledge that what everyone expected to happen in this matchup…pretty much happened. So let’s breakdown some of the Colts […]
Colts speculated as ‘one player away’ trade suitor for Bengals All-Pro edge Trey Hendrickson
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano (subscription), the Indianapolis Colts still seem like a logical trade destination for Cincinnati Bengals reigning All-Pro pass rusher Trey Hendrickson—even with their current caveat that “Cincinnati has no plans to trade Hendrickson right now”: “Up to this point, the Bengals have rebuffed trade inquiries, and sources have […]
Colts offense could thrive against this Steelers defense
The “Steel Curtain” from the seventies is showing its age in 2025 as the once vaunted defense from Pittsburgh is in need of some patch work. Unfortunately for them, they are facing a pair of shears in the Indianapolis Colts offense. Daniel Jones and co. are currently on a tear and are taking no prisoners […]
OL Coach Tony Sparano Jr. is the Colts’ saving grace
Indianapolis, IN — Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard has always had a knack for drafting offensive line talent. From one of the easiest choices of all time in selecting guard Quenton Nelson at the top of the draft to finding gems on Day 3 (Rounds 4-7), such as current starting center Tanor Bortolini and […]
Colts superstar workhorse could go from ‘J.T. to MVP’ if maintains monstrous pace
Indianapolis Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor is almost midway through a monstrous rushing campaign, in which he’s not only the clear frontrunner for NFL Offensive Player of the Year but a bona fide NFL MVP candidate for the league’s most prestigious individual annual award. One that has recently been reserved for elite quarterbacks during […]
Colts’ Week 8 QB Analysis: Jones continues to impress
Thanks to the nflFastR project, Pro Football Focus and NFL NextGen Stats for the timely sources of data. For those of you new to this, I will publish key QB stats each week judging how well the Colts’ QB performed. Yes, O-Line, receivers, and play-calling impact these numbers but they are primarily QB measures. I will probably modify the […]
Colts’ Stock Up/Down: Week 8 vs. Titans
Stock Up Michael Pittman Jr. Pitt continues asserting himself as the #1 receiver, and there are probably not a lot of better jobs than being the top dog on an offense as productive as the Colts is. Less than halfway through the season he has already tied his career high in touchdowns, consistently leads the […]
Colts work out five players on Monday, ultimately signing veteran DE to practice squad
According to KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson, the Indianapolis Colts worked out cornerback LaMareon James, defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon, linebacker Grayson Murphy, defensive end Casey Toohill, and linebacker Rashad Weaver—ultimately signing Kpassagnon to their practice squad following his Monday tryout. It’s not the first time the Colts have been reportedly interested in Kpassagnon, as they were reportedly […]
Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. is Amidst a Career Year
Indianapolis, IN — The Indianapolis Colts, and more specifically its offense, have had no shortage of highlights through each of its games through eight weeks of play. From head coach Shane Steichen pulling out tricks from the deepest parts of his offensive bag to Jonathan Taylor and Daniel Jones vying for MVP votes, this Colts […]
The Colts have 7 wins in the books. How does the 2nd half look?
The Colts have been the surprise story of the first half of the season. Some other teams have had some moments, but no team has put positive weekly results on the field, as well as the Colts have. We still have our detractors who most often want to put our strength of schedule as a […]
Colts’ Monday Morning Awards: Week 8 vs. Titans
7-1. Colts win their fourth game in a row, all convincingly, this time by 24 points against division rivals Tennessee Titans. There were some ghosts surrounding this team and games that they should be winning easily on paper, so it was nice leaving them behind and demolishing the Titans always feels good. Now we enter […]
Colts revisionist history: Jonathan Taylor was 100% right to hold out
Is there anyone better in the NFL right now than Jonathan Taylor? That’s a rhetorical question because the answer is no. It doesn’t matter if he is in the MVP conversation because current odds show it isn’t about the most valuable player but instead the most valuable quarterback. It may be impossible for him to […]
Colts-Steelers opening odds: Colts seeking a big road win
The Indianapolis Colts have played the Pittsburgh Steelers quite a bit over the years. Thirty-five times these two teams have matched up, and the Colts have only won eight of those games. That is the bad part. A potential silver lining, however, is that two of those wins came in the last two meetings. Both […]
Indianapolis Colts roll through Titans to stay on top of AFC playoff picture
The Indianapolis Colts dominated the Tennessee Titans and it didn’t matter that the rest of the AFC playoff teams won. The Colts stay atop the AFC with their Week 8 win. The AFC East-leading New England Patriots and the second-place Buffalo Bills both won, the Denver Broncos walloped the Dallas Cowboys, and the Los Angeles […]
Jonathan Taylor is the NFL’s Mid-Season MVP
Indianapolis, IN — Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has put on a dominant start to the season. After blowing past the Tennessee Titans for the second time this season, the Colts remain alone atop the NFL standings at 7-1, a start they haven’t matched since their Super Bowl runner-up season in 2009. It was […]

The Indianapolis Colts dismantled the Tennessee Titans for the second time this season in Sunday’s 38-14 blowout win to improve to 7-1 and complete the season sweep inside Lucas Oil Stadium.

Rapid reaction: Colts remain scary, giving Titans nightmares this Halloween week, 38-14
As we approach Halloween, it’s not just ghosts, witches, skeletons, and ghouls that have caused some frequent nightmares during this annual season of spookiness. The Colts continue to consistently terrorize their opponents, and Sunday’s late afternoon performance against the now 1-7 Tennessee Titans wasn’t anything close to a letdown. The Colts dominated on both sides […]
Michael Pittman Jr. makes absurd snag against Titans for 4th TD in last 5 meetings
Indianapolis Colts receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has owned the Tennessee Titans in recent meetings and just made an absurd snag in the end zone for a touchdown to take a double-digit lead as the stampede sporting blue inside Lucas Oil Stadium erupted in amazement. Just outside of the red zone, Colts quarterback Daniel Jones saw […]
Week 8 Colts vs. Titans Game Thread
The Indianapolis Colts are at home to take on the Tennessee Titans in week 8 of the 2025 season, kickoff is at 4:25 p.m. EST. Last week our Colts dominated a good LA Chargers team. The game was never as close as the 38-24 final score would indicate. That said, the game was not without it’s concerns. […]
Report: Colts injured QB has surgery but return this year remains uncertain
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Indianapolis Colts backup quarterback Anthony Richardson underwent surgery to repair his orbital bone fracture on Monday—but could still return this season: The former 4th overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft has suffered a myriad on injuries since entering the league with Indianapolis (including 13 games in his rookie […]
